Art and Antique Show

The final day of the three day Art and Antique show at the lodge was yesterday. We felt that if there was going to be anything that interested us enough to buy, the last day is usually the best for getting the best deals. The show was held in our convention center in the back of the main building:

There were lots and lots of nice old west items, most of which were priced out of sight. There were paintings that were priced $7,500 and above, and some of the jewelry and sculpture items were in the $15,000 range. This is Jackson all right. There was an artist that was painting portraits on the scene and he produced some terrific work while being on display throughout the show. Unfortunately, I couldn't take pictures in the showroom, so the nice displays cannot be seen. While talking to the show coordinator at the end of the day and following the closing of the show, she indicated that many of the vendors had an excellent show, while others did poorly. When items are priced as high as most of them were, it doesn't take many sales to call it a success.

We plan to take a walk into town this morning. There are some items that we need to look for to take with us when we leave Jackson in just over a month from now. We would like to get our shopping done early so that we aren't rushing around at the end of our stay.

I was not feeling 100% last night at work and am wondering if maybe I'm having some side effects from my new medicine that I picked up in Idaho Falls for my foot problem. At any rate, I will see how it goes today before getting too concerned about it. Our "Wednesday" is today, and another week is sailing by...
